So, if the plan this summer is to keep both KP and THJ, how much would we have to spend on a FA?

So I think THJ's range is 13-18 mil given similar player comps. I could see him for example getting 4/60. If he gets 15/yr then you'd have 19-ish but there isn't really an obvious player worth 19-ish in the market. We have some older guys that are around 25/yr with shorter years (Conley, Lowry, DeRozan) and the some above MLE players but its hard to picture who would be worth paying 19/yr. 

I think Norman Powell is the only name I can think of that's in that range, I have seen him going as high as 20/yr. He would be a good target but its hard to picture the Blazers letting him get away.

Terrance Ross is a trade target I'd like to see if Mavs could get him. Otherwise these RFA's (THT most notably) would be tough to pry away.

I think Dinwiddie could be a good target on a team-friendly deal including possibly an opt-in and trade. He seems like one of the better targets. Dragic should be available for a good price, potentially MLE level which would allow Mavs to operate over the cap.

One of the things that would do is allow you to keep J Rich or do an opt-in and trade deal.

THJ/Rich/Dragic/WCS/Maybe JJR back on a 1 yr deal would be pretty good. Mavs in that scenario might save their BAE.
